OVERALL COMMENTS AND REFLECTIONS:

This classroom was a Chemistry class for 9th graders. There was only the class teacher present
during the class period. The teacher walks around the class to help out students when he noticed that they
were having difficulties performing experiment. I did noticed all students fulfill task.
Overall, the class lesson was productive and mostly all students finished their assignments
enthusiastically. There were no distractions or excess noise by the students. They all participated when the
teacher questioned them, and they were acting as self-disciplined and hungry to learn. This might be
caused by motivation of getting acceptance to top universities at the end of the high school.
